Tastak is an everyday Almaty bazaar with rows of fresh herbs, rugs, towels, fabric by the metre and inexpensive dishes. Kiosks at the entrance serve lagman, meat samsa and fried manty, which makes it an easy lunch stop.

The flower rows stay open late, and prices are usually below those in shops. Exact opening days are not published, so treat it as a daily market and check Google Maps.

Tips: Come in the evening for flowers and bring cash. Coordinates are approximate.
